A MAN has been ordered to pay out hundreds of pounds in compensation after he threw a brick at a shop door in Wrexham.

James White, who is currently living in West Parade in Rhyl, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning.

The 34-year-old, formerly of Grosvenor Road in Wrexham, admitted that on May 7 he damaged a glass front door belonging to Iceland in the city centre.

Justin Espie, prosecuting, told the court the defendant was seen on CCTV throwing a brick at the window of Iceland at Island Green.

The act cracked the upper glass pane, causing £371 worth of damage.

Emma Simoes, defending, told the court: "Although he's no stranger to the court, the frequency of the offending has definitely slowed down.

"He's been in quite a sorry state over the last few months - he fell off a ladder while helping a friend to put a light up and broke both of his heels, so he has no mobility.

She said her client was intoxicated at the time of the offence and had no memory of it.

District Judge Gwyn Jones handed down a two-year conditional discharge and ordered the defendant to pay £85 costs, as well as £371 in compensation to Iceland.
